I am a UK AdopteeMore information on what to do if
you were Adopted in the UK.

For some time in the UK it has been a Matter of Law that all Adoptees who
are eighteen years of age or older, whose
Adoption Orders have been granted in the UK, are entitled to access
their original birth certificates and may have access to
certain other records.

For those Adopted prior to 12 November 1975, these records must be
accessed through a Counsellor nominated by the
Registrar General (since 1991 there are now nominated Counsellors
available outside of the UK). Those Adopted from 12 November 1975 are
entitled to such counselling facilities before access to the
records.
